as charter members.
THERE should have been a meeting of
the City Council last evening, but a
quorum failed to be present. There
seems to be something of a queer ma
ture about our City Council, as they
allow so many meetings to go by with
out transacting any business.
THE railroads have a hard time these
days, especially the Park branch. The
passenger very seldom gets DIP to the
platform and IS fofced to discharge her
passengers some yards below. Snow
shovelllng has settled into a steady
business.
THE weather in the Park during the
past week has not been very conducive
to item hunting, and We editor is forced
to draw on his Imagination to some e1-
tent. We trust our readers will pardon
a dull paper until the weather permits
of skirmishing.
THE Ontario school, under the care of
! Mr.. Martin, has been closed since
Wednesday last owing to the deep snow.
School will be opened again as soon as
the weather becomes more settled and
| the snow beaten down. The schools in
town have all been very poorly attended
from the same cause.
THE friends of Miss Minnie Cunning
ham treated the young lady TO sur
prise party last Friday evening. 1t
was very pleasant and enjoyable
affair, and the managers of the same
deserve credit for the pains taken to
make the surprise complete, while Miss
Minnie is worthy of high praise for the
manner in which she acted the part of
hostess.
THE passenger train was snow bound
in great shape, and up to the hour of
going to press was snow bound in the
yard. The snow pillow left Echo early
this morning. and since passing Coal
vile has not been heard from. She is
in all probability stuck in huge snow
bank, or has left the rails. Last night
was a shorter for drifting snow, and in
many places it was pilNAup mountain
high-a small mountaif I'VE mean, of
course.
The Daily shipped for the week end :
| ing February 18th, six bars, or 6,675 fine
ounces of silver. We would call atten-
ton to the extraordinary average of
the Daily bullion. We venture to say
there is not another silver mine in the
world that will show higher average
in quality.
WORK is icing carried on in the
Whitehead group of claims, situated in
Pocatello Gulch, Blue Ledge mining
district. with a commemorate energy
by the owners. Mr.. Whitehead in
forms US that they felt very much en-
couraged by the outlook, and that they
have cut some fine ore in their present
workings.
a RICH strike is reported in the Silas
Reed group, by Mr.. G. J. Barry, who
has charge of the work ON that prop
erty. These claims are situated in the
Snake Creek mining district, near the
divide between Big Cottonwood, Snake
Creek and Uintah mining districts.
The ground covered by these claims is
considered to be very valuable, as be-
sides giving great promise of being ore
producing, a part of it is very heavily
timbered.

been blessed this winter has been con-
siderable of . drawback to prospectors
in the development of located ground,
hence work in that line has not been as
active as it would have been with less
snow. We know several instances

With spring will come a general move
toward active development, which we
are anxious to see.
THE Ontario shipped to the Mackin-
tosh sampler, for the week ending
February 10Th, 277 100 pounds of ore.
The Daily has made no shipments,
owing to the condition of the roads. 1t

branch of industry will be kept hum

mines which Will undoubtedly become
producers next season, get in opera

to put more trains on the Park City
! branch.
AT the Ontario No. , hosting works
men are employed in making new fiat
wire ropes for the hoisting engine that
| is to be put in at the Daily next season,
they are also making some of this same
rope to replace the ones now in use on
| their engine. This company keeps two
experienced men at work in this depart
mept all the time and all the wire ropes
and other ropes used in hosting are
under their immediate supervision and
are kept In the best of condition and
repair.
Work at the Morgan mine is being
pushed right along but there are no
startling developments as yet At this
mine they have a snug little hosting
works erected for temporary use and
are busily engaged in sinking. This
property is considered one of the most
valuable in the camp and judging from
the lawsuits they are having with their
neighbor, the DAILY Company. there
must be something in the ground worth
having. We wish the Walker Brothers
and their co-owners every success in
the undertaking.
Mrs. MARTIN RICHARDS lost little
child last Sunday night with d!phthe-
ria. 1t was buried Tuesday. We are
informed by reliable parties. that Mrs.
Richards IS in straitened clrcum-
stances. owing to the fact that her
husband left home some five or six
weeks ago with the intention of going to
